The next few months couldn’t be more important for our state’s future.

Families continue to battle a global pandemic. Workers are fighting to return to their jobs and job sites. Efforts in Lansing and local communities are underway to fight back against Governor Whitmer’s anti-science lockdown orders and restrictions.

He finally testified.

Robert Gordon, the “resigned” former director of the state’s health department testified in Lansing this week about the secret hush money scandal that’s swept over Lansing these last many weeks.

What’s Florida got that Michigan doesn't? Except healthier seniors, safer nursing homes, and lower COVID infection rates? ...and a Governor who trusts and respects his citizens… and more freedoms… and well, you get the point!

Those are the questions we’re all asking after news broke this week that Governor Gretchen Whitmer secretly jumped on an airplane (we don’t know whose or who paid for it) and traveled to the Sunshine State for an undisclosed amount of time in an undisclosed Florida city.

There’s a war being waged on Michigan voters, alright, but it isn’t by who CNN tells you.

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson proves herself more radically partisan by the day, and recently testified in Congress to back a plan to put control of the nonpartisan Federal Elections Commission in the hands of partisan political operatives.

Congress recently sent state lawmakers a giant pot of money and now it’s up to them to figure out what to do with it.

Just a few weeks ago, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which earmarked $5.7 billion in lightly restricted funds to the state of Michigan for lawmakers to spend between now and the end of 2024.

As we finish up a particularly ugly week of rhetoric in Michigan politics, the Christian faithful around the world will adore the selfless sacrifice of Jesus and celebrate His victory of love over darkness. We observe the world-changing power of forgiveness, and reflect on the holy call to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

There are terrible ideas, and then there was Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s latest request to the United State Senate.

Benson testified Wednesday in support of a series of hyper-partisan election “reforms” that would politicize elections administration and strip Michigan of its ability to conduct its own elections.

It’s Sunshine Week and Governor Gretchen Whitmer is hiding things from you. A lot of things, it turns out.

The Freedom Fund’s own Greg McNeilly took to the pages of the Detroit News this week to point out this lack of transparency and offer a few important suggestions on how the state legislature might fight back to protect your right to know:

It’s been a brutal year.

COVID-19 has carved a deadly path across the globe. Since the first two cases were identified in Michigan just over one year ago, thousands of our friends, family members, colleagues and neighbors have lost their lives to the virus.

Secret deals.

Hush money.

Six-figure paydays to buy the silence of failed senior administration officials.

And all on taxpayers’ dime.
